There was a lot they got right with this series.
Dexter was as good as he's ever been.
The tension and humor was there.
I really liked some of the side characters, especially Angela and her daughter.
Kurt struck an interesting tone, a well known member of the community operating in plain sight. I thought he started off as some petrochemical billionaire or something but he morphed into the truckstop owner and Samaritan, but not.
Harrison was ok, and did deliver some decent character traits, his ability to tell Dexter what his was going to do and not take orders etc. He didn't really sell his Dark Passenger side well though.
Angela started off well as the hot wild and capable sheriff. She did seem way to quick to turn on Dexter though, they could have fixed that with a bit of back story about how she responds badly to people who lie cos someone lied in her past and really messed her up.
Mostly it was interesting and watchable, but the end didn't work. They just didn't sell it well. It felt rushed and tacked on and didn't make a dot of sense, and it could have worked. All they needed to do was talk about it a bit more and hammer home the logic of it. Why it was the only way forward. As it stands it totally wasn't. It achieved nothing. Harrison didn't get to stay and have a life in the town which would have been one good reason, he's a lone, he's going to be pulled in and tied into it all, it really wasn't a win.
Dexter's death was lame too. Like they did one take of it and said, it'll do, move one.
I didn't buy it and it looks like no one else did, and it's a shame as the rest of the series definitely had it's moments.
Dexter's son and Angela's daughter getting it on was funny and weird, the town was interesting and the setting was well chosen. This shouldn't have been the end.
